Professional Control and FlexibilityCustomizable toolbars, set-up wizard, and context sensitive help enhance usability, while the block manager and the ability to quickly organize layers and layer sets optimize drawing management. Plus complete printing and publishing tools as well as extensive file support including AutoCAD .DWG meet the needs of professional architects, engineers, illustrators, designers, and more.

Industry Specific ToolsGet superior control and flexibility with tools specific to your line of work. TurboCAD Mac Pro includes these suites of professional design tools:

Powerful Lighting & Rendering OptionsWhen its time to present your ideas, TurboCAD Mac Pro delivers stunning photorealistic renderings. Apply materials and decals. Set lighting, shadowing, reflectance, roughness and environmental effects. Then render with the powerful LightWorks Photorealistic Rendering Engine. Sketch rendering options are also available for a hand-drawn look, appropriate in the early stages of conceptual design.

Flexible File Sharing and Publishing OptionsEasily import existing designs from popular CAD and graphic design file formats, including AutoCAD .DWG. Just as easily, save designs from TurboCAD to other CAD formats, or choose a popular desktop publishing formats such as EPS TIFF, CGM and more, to create brochures or other marketing materials. Even print design to your specifications with options for better control of how the printed document will look.

New 3D Printing ToolsNew to TurboCAD Mac Pro v9 are a suite of tools to check and prepare a part for 3D Printing. These include 3D Print Check, Surface Normals Check, Overhang Analysis, Wall Thickness, Preview Slices, Auto Position, Support Structure, Show Printer Volume, and Printer Definitions.

Whats New in TurboCAD Mac Pro 9:

Improved Gripper ToolThe Gripper Tool places a graphical interface on top of a 2D or 3D object for easy translation, scaling, and rotation. Click and drag simple handles to get on-the-?y changes with size and orientation of your object. Expanded Gripper functions now include duplicate and face copy for added versatility.

New NavigatorThe Navigator is a viewing tool independent of your drawing. The Navigator has two viewing modes: Sphere Mode and Step Mode. To toggle between the two modes, click the Step Mode or Sphere Mode button in the top right corner of the dialog.

New Batch File ConverterThe Batch File command located on the File menu will read in a variety of file formats and process into other file formats.

New Save for ReviewThe Save for Review command saves the current file to a new file name while locking the layer list. Locking the layer list prevents anyone from making changes to the file without first unlocking the layers. Use the Save for Review command in combination with the Markup tools.

New Rib/Lip FeatureThe Rib tool is used for the construction of a support feature. It includes parameters for thickness and draft angle.

New Bridge ToolThe Bridge tool connects two facet regions together. Connect two regions together by combining and merging facets, edges, and vertices.

New Add Loop ToolInserts a new row of facets, edges, and vertices into a part, providing additional control over regions of a meshed part.

New Fill HoleThe Fill Hole tool adds triangles or quads to close an open hole.

New Cylinder SubD PrimitiveNew Cylinder SubD Primitive has been added.

Improved Push/PullThe Push/Pull tool allows you to create 3D objects from 2D lines or curves by simply dragging to extrude an enclosed shape. This tool can also be used to resize 3D objects by dragging a face.

3D Print CheckThe 3D Print Check tool checks a part for its print viability, displaying warnings or errors to the user.

Preview SlicesThe Preview Slices tool provides a user interface to slice models given a direction and thickness. The dialog box allows for animation through the slices as well as single stepping. One use of the Preview Slice tool is to verify a part has closed, non overlapping sections, a requirement for 3D printing.

Auto PositionThe Auto Position tool positions a collection of parts within the boundaries of the default print platform.

Support StructureThe Support Structure provides a tool that manually adds geometry to support material as it is created by the 3D printer.

Show Printer VolumeToggles the boundary of the default 3D Printer. The volume is defined within the Printer Definitions dialog box.

Printer DefinitionsThe Printer Definitions dialog box provides a means to set key parameters of the 3D printer. The parameters include the length, width, and height of the volume accessible by the printer
